AllMusic | [7] |
Pitchfork | 8.6/10[8] |
John Bush of AllMusic said: "The metallic beats, high-energy impact, and futuristic effects prove that Moroder was ahead of his time like few artists of the 1970s (Kraftwerk included), and the free-form songwriting on tracks like 'Lost Angeles', 'First Hand Experience in Second Hand Love', and the title track are priceless."[7] Dominique Leone of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.6 out of 10, calling it "a marvel for disco historians" and "a perfect nugget of dance music for anyone else".[8]
In 2004, Pitchfork placed it at number 88 on the "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s" list.[9] In 2015, Thump placed it at number 19 on the "99 Greatest Dance Albums of All Time" list.[10]
All tracks are written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte

From Here to Eternity is Moroder's quasi-instrumental masterpiece, a continuous mix of banging Eurodisco complete with vocoder effects and this statement on the back cover: "Only electronic keyboards were used on this recording".
